Verdict

The Epson VS220 is a portable SVGA business projector featuring 3LCD, 3-chip technology that delivers 2,700 lumens of both colour and white brightness with a native 800 x 600 resolution and a 3,000:1 contrast ratio. Main characteristics include a lightweight 2.3 kg design, HDMI connectivity, and a lamp life of up to 5,000 hours in ECO mode. Its primary pros are its exceptional brightness for its price point, ease of setup via USB Plug 'n Play, and accurate out-of-the-box colour reproduction. However, notable cons include its low native resolution which lacks sharpness for detailed HD content, a relatively weak 2W monaural speaker, and audible fan noise reaching 37 dB in normal mode.
